There’s nothing much for me to say except sorry for never really being active on Keiko. I had plans, but life got in the way. Plus, I’ll be blunt. I rushed into apping her, which explains probably why my enthusiasm died as fast as it was born. *faceplants*

Also! Big shoutout to the mods~ Thank you for making Koi the wonderful experience it was. You’ve poured so much time and effort into the group and I hope y’all take this opportunity to have a rest and look after yourselves, you deserve it~

As for me, I’ll be archiving this blog again. I have a very inactive multimuse here, otherwise, you can catch me on twitter at melxdyinthedark (Fair warning, kpop orientated) Thanks to all for you for being you, have a good time with wherever you go from here!

Get to know my OC! // Accepting!

11. What are your OC’s hobbies?

Besides singing and dancing (obviously), Keiko enjoys writing; both song writing and creative writing. She feels that part of the reason her solo career stalled was because she wasn’t allowed to sing the songs she had written, and instead sang songs given to her by her company that she couldn’t warm to.Before she became an idol, Keiko also enjoyed cosplay and had an active Instagram when she regularly posted updates of costumes she had been working on. While she still enjoys looking at pictures of other people’s cosplays, she hasn’t done any herself since before forming Harmony.

14. What foods does your OC like to eat? What are their least favourite foods?

To Keiko’s annoyance, most of her favourite foods; such as yakitori, karaage and any form of noodles are foods that she has to avoid due to the diet she’s supposed to be on. (One of the many perils of being an idol.) Not that she always strictly sticks to said diet, especially not that she’s in Koi and away from her manager. (Though she also doesn’t intend on going overboard either) As for least favourite foods, she’s never been fond anything that’s been fermented. (i.e. kimchi, miso or natto)

21. What personal problems do they have? Pet peeves?

@hostune​ - Izumi

Keiko’s not entirely sure why she’s agreed to this little trip. Truth be told, it probably would have been more prudent for her to stay at home and continue to promote with Harmony. She is the leader after all, it’s her responsibility. But a brief time out after their hectic schedule sounded nice. Plus it might even give her new inspiration for songs, God knows they could do with it.

The truth is much simple, and yet complex. Because no matter how many times she had said ‘no’ to this ‘trip,’ no matter how stridently she proclaimed that Harmony needed to stick together, Keiko still found herself in Koi. And strangely enough, she was somewhat content with the situation.

As she explores the city, she doesn’t expect to meet anyone she knows, why should she? Apart from Takako and Shizuku, no-one knows she’s here, after all. And yet, when a vaguely familiar mop of silver hair passes by her on the street, she can’t help but pause with a curious gaze, lifting her head up from her phone. And then, sky-blue eyes widen in shock as familiarity finally hits home.

While it wouldn’t be wrong to say she knew this person, it was more a case of knowing of him. He was a person she’d seen from her at a distance during live shows, when Harmony mingled with other groups as they tried to find their own place in the entertainment world. He was someone she’d often see gracing the covers of various fashion magazines.

But more important than that, he’s someone Keiko idolized. His group’s music had a special place in her music collection, their albums laying dutifully in her room back home. Knights were a group that Keiko dreamed of somehow standing on stage with as equals someday.

“Sena.... Sena Izumi-san?”

Now, for my baby, Keiko. She’s one of my oldest OCs and I’ve RP’d her in previous incarnations of Koi, but never as an Ensemble Stars OC. (It was always a verse I had for her, but never utilized) As you’ll probably see when you look at her app, she has no background right now. Bare with me, I’m rewriting it from her original background, so it’s a work in progress. But here’s a very basic rundown:

She’s 18 yrs old and a graduate of Spica High School (Think girl’s equivalent to Yumenosaki)

She graduated at the same time as the Yumenosaki boys

She had a very brief solo career before enrolling in Spica and forming a unit

She’s the leader of her own unit; Harmony, a three-girl unit

She’s also the group’s lead vocalist

While Harmony wouldn’t be as popular as the more estabiled groups, they do have a dedicated and hardcore fanbase

Harmony’s music style is inspired by the japanese discography of Twice and Girls’ Generation, along with that of Kana Nishino (who is Keiko’s voice claim)

To comply with the group’s rules, she’s had no direct interaction with any of the Enstars boys. However she does know of them and is a big Knights fan herself.

Family-wise; her parents are divorced and she lives/ with her mother and little sister. She’s still in contact with her dad and they have a great relationship (At least until Koi called, ahaha)

She’s a very shy bean and tends not to make the first move unless absolutely necessary. But get her on stage and it’s like she’s a whole new person. 

That, I think, just about covers the basics! But if you’ve any questions, hmu! In any case, let’s get started! Like this post for a random (non-event) starter, capping at 4. Castmates (I guess???) are exluded from the cap! And if you want to plot out anything more thorough, just hop into my IMs~

That slap… It stings. It hurt. But it’s going to take more than just a slap for him to crumble down in front of her. He raises a free hand to rub the reddened skin, his voice soft and gentle as ever—— ❝ Oh, my. That is uncalled for, Keiko-chan. ❞ 

He pauses for a moment, contemplating what to say. ❝ Perhaps you are right. But what happened in Valkyrie’s live… Was done not by these hands, but by someone else’s. I cannot control the actions of another person. I’m flattered that you think this way, though. Do you think I am God? ❞

❝ Well… I don’t quite know how to answer you. ❞ Perhaps she is right. Perhaps he was playing games with her — just like how he’s toyed with those oddballs and that foolish King. Perhaps the whole of Yumenosaki was nothing but a board game for him, and the idols his chess pieces. ❝ First of all, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for looking up to me. If I could shine bright enough for someone to admire me… Then I’m satisfied. At least I did one thing right. ❞    

Yes, what do you wish to call me? A monster? A demon? He has been called names like that so often — he’s already numb to them. Keiko would just be one of the many people to refer to him by such vile titles. He urges her to finish her sentence. ❝ And yet..? ❞

"Shut up! Just shut the hell up!”

Gripping at her hair with almost enough force to tear the delicate strands (both real and synthetic) from the root, Keiko let out a noise that was somewhere between a sob and a shriek, overwhelmed by the calmness Eichi was projecting.

Why wasn’t he shouting back? Threatening her? Paying her back for the slap?

It was unnerving. Terrifying, even.

“They... they did it because they supported you! They knew you wouldn’t win otherwise! And you never condemned it, you’re just as culpable!” The words fall out in a rush, harsh breaths between them, as though speaking was taking all the air she had to offer. “Don’t... don’t pretend you weren’t happy about it!”

Digging her nails in even deeper, Keiko bit back a hiss of pain. Terrible as it was, this was the one thing that grounded her, that kept her from breaking down completely.

Until cool hands gently tugged her hands from her head. Letting out a squawk of indignation, the idol tried to tug herself free, to no avail. Eichi was evidently stronger than he appeared. Or maybe she was just weak. Not that it mattered, in any case his hold was strong, but gentle.

(Why wasn’t her hurting her?)

Casting her eyes downward so she didn’t have to meet his gaze, the silence stretched for what seemed like hours until Keiko spoke up again, voice almost monotonous.

“I don’t know what you are, Tenshouin-kun. One moment you seem so gentle and kind, the next a ruthless bastard. I can’t figure you out and it’s terrifying.”

Another sigh as Keiko slumped further in her seat, tears trickling down her cheeks.

“..I  wanted to be in fine, you know. Before I found out what happened. I wanted to share the stage with you, to change the world with you. ....But then you hurt the people I love.” Finally she looked up at him once more, her face a mask of exhaustion, betrayal and defeat.
